Vinaigrette dressings provide a deep and tangy flavor that can really wake a salad up and make all the flavors sing together in perfect, delectable harmony. Over the years, we’ve built up a diverse selection of Taylor Farms Chopped Salad Kits that feature a wide range of downright surprising vinaigrettes, each delivering a uniquely satisfying salad experience.
But before we take a closer look at these masterful concoctions, let’s first talk about what makes a vinaigrette a vinaigrette.
What is a Vinaigrette Salad Dressing?
A vinaigrette salad dressing is typically made by emulsifying oil with an acidic ingredient such as vinegar or citrus juice, along with seasonings like salt, pepper, herbs, etc. Vinaigrettes can be customized with different types of vinegar (such as balsamic, red wine, white wine, or apple cider vinegar) and additional ingredients like garlic, shallots, bacon, or basically any other flavor you happen to love.
As you can probably tell, we love our vinaigrettes at Taylor Farms! From bourbony bliss to zesty citrus, get to know our Chopped Salad Kits and their unique vinaigrette dressings.
